Happy New Year to all!  It will be great to see everyone as I journey the halls of Corsicana High School!  If you are like me it will probably be tough to get up early and go to bed early since many of us have a tendency to stay up late and sleep late on breaks.  Hopefully everyone took full advantage of the holidays to enjoy it with friends and family.  The second half of the school year is always filled with tons of activities!  We will definitely need the rest.

Well, it’s official Charlie Strong will be named the new head football coach of the University of Texas.  Those that know me well, know that I love the longhorns.  It will be tough for me to not see Mack Brown on the sidelines clapping it up, but I am really excited about the hire!

As we roll through the second half of the school year we will talk a lot about how to make Corsicana High School an even greater place.  It is important to note that if we want to be great, we must all be great.  We can have no excuses.  In order to be a truly great learning community everything we do must be great.  This includes academics, advanced academics, extracurricular activities, and all we do.

I want to thank the faculty and staff of Corsicana High School for being so responsive to the needs of our students.  Many of them have worked hard to implement technology into their daily instruction.  As a partial 1:1 iPad campus, with full BYOD we have made great strides in the area of instructional technology.  When you go into the classrooms of CHS you see some pretty amazing things!  Thanks!

Mid-Term Exams
Students, mid-term exams are coming!  Please do not forget that there are no exemptions for mid-term exams.  The mid-term exam schedule will be posted around school and in all classrooms this week.  It’s time to begin studying now!

The next few days will be very cold! Students, please remember to dress warm.  We will make sure the heat is pumping at CHS, but bus stops and the outside areas will be very cold.  Please remember the guidelines for outerwear.  Also, all sweaters must have a shirt with a collar underneath it.  CISD Standardized Dress

The second half of the school year can be long.  I encourage our students who are not involved in something to get involved!  There are so many activities to be involved in at Corsicana High School.  Do not get caught with nothing to do.  That can sometimes cause you to not be interested in school.  If you are looking for something to join that is very low stress, join the Ping Pong Club.  Get with Coach Harris and see how you can get involved!  School should be fun!
